Wave Energy in Brittany (France)—Resource Assessment and WEC Performances

  • Nicolas Guillou,
  • George Lavidas and
  • Bahareh Kamranzad

16 January 2023

Refined numerical wave energy resource assessments are required to reduce uncertainties in the evaluation of available power and energy production. However, to restrict the computational cost, a great part of wave hindcast simulations cover a limited...
